You Need Professionals for Electrical Services

We want to emphasize why it’s critical that you turn to people like the licensed electricians on our team when you need electrical jobs done. It’s tempting to try to do the work yourself or trust an amateur who makes big claims for a suspiciously low price.

Licensed electricians undergo extensive training and certification processes to acquire the knowledge and skills required to handle complex electrical tasks. They’re well-versed in local building codes and regulations, ensuring that all work they do is performed legally and up to standard. This compliance reduces the risk of electrical fires, shocks, and other hazards that could endanger your family and property. Furthermore, licensed professionals are insured, which provides an additional layer of protection in case of accidents or damages during the project.

Hiring our licensed electricians ensures the quality and longevity of your electrical systems. Our team can accurately diagnose and repair issues, preventing costly mistakes and future troubles. Their experience also helps them recommend efficient and energy-saving solutions customized to your needs. Unlicensed workers may offer lower rates, but they aren’t qualified—and that can lead to substandard work and expensive repairs later.

Safe and Efficient Electrical Repairs

The electrical system of any home is complex and involves numerous different parts, all of which can wear down or malfunction. Here are some of the most common home electrical problems you may encounter that require calling pros for solutions.

• Flickering or Dimming Lights: Flickering lights can indicate a variety of issues, from loose bulbs or faulty light switches to more serious problems like overloaded circuits or deteriorating wiring. If multiple lights flicker simultaneously, it’s often a sign of a larger electrical problem.
• Circuit Breaker Trips Frequently: Circuit breakers trip when they detect an overload or a short circuit. Frequent tripping could signal that your electrical panel is outdated, circuits are overloaded, or there’s a wiring problem that poses a safety hazard.
• Non-Working Outlets: When an outlet stops working, it could be due to a tripped GFCI outlet, a loose connection, or burned wiring. In some cases, the outlet may need to be replaced, and the wiring behind it inspected to ensure safety.
• Burning Smell or Scorched Outlets: A burning smell near outlets or switches is a major red flag and often indicates overheated wiring or components. This can lead to electrical fires if not addressed promptly. If you notice this, turn off the power to the affected area and call an electrician immediately.
• Buzzing Sounds: Buzzing noises near outlets, switches, or light fixtures can indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing components that need repair or replacement.
• Sparking or Hot Outlets: If you notice sparks or feel heat when using an outlet, it’s a sign of loose wiring, damaged insulation, or excessive load. Ignoring this issue can result in electrical fires, so it’s crucial to have it inspected and repaired by a professional.
• Dead Light Bulbs or Fixtures: If light bulbs burn out too quickly or certain fixtures stop working, the issue might go beyond the bulb itself. Faulty wiring, voltage problems, or poor-quality fixtures could be the culprits.

Our team is ready to help you—and we’ll make your safety and comfort our top priority every time.

Electrical Installations You Can Count On

Installing new electrical systems isn’t always as simple as just plugging something in. Here are some installations that you can rely on our expert electricians to get done right:

• Attic Fans: You may wonder why you want to keep your attic cool when you don’t spend much time there. The reason is that the attic often becomes superheated, and this lets heat seep into the rest of the house. Attic fans are an energy-efficient way to cool the attic and the rest of the house, as well as to remove moisture and help to increase the roof’s longevity.
• Ceiling Fans: Ceiling fans will help improve comfort without raising energy prices sky-high. The movement of air thanks to a ceiling fan makes you feel 8° cooler—and that’s a huge difference in how much you run your AC! Ceiling fans require professional installation to ensure proper and safe operation.
• Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Detectors: We can help your family enjoy better safety with hardwired carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors. This is one of the best lines of defense you have against fires and CO poisoning.
• Lighting: Going beyond putting in new lightbulbs, our electricians offer new lighting installations, both indoors and outdoors. LED lighting upgrades can significantly help with lowering your energy consumption.
• Surge Protection: This is more than just using power strips. Whole-house surge protection will protect your valuable appliances and equipment from even the most powerful voltage surges that can affect a home.
• Generators: Concerned about power outages? Many people in Northern Colorado are, and for good reasons. Having our electricians outfit your home with a whole-house generator will give you valuable peace of mind that your family will manage through any extended power loss.

Upgrades to Modernize Your Home

Older homes often have outdated electrical systems that can lead to everything from minor troubles to major safety hazards. If you live in a vintage home in Greely, CO, we highly recommend you arrange with our electricians for an electrical audit to see where we can modernize your home.

Upgrading Electrical Panels

This is one of the most critical upgrades a home may need. Electrical panels are the hub for a household electrical system, but many homes have panels that are more than 20 years old and no longer equipped for current electrical demands. Some homes may even have antiquated fuse boxes. Let our electricians find the best electrical panel upgrade to keep your home current with the 21st century and keep you safe.

Upgrading Outlets

We recommend that all homes have GFCI and AFCI outlets installed. These outlets provide a level of safety for people in your home.

• GFCI Outlets: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets are designed to protect people from electrical shock by detecting ground faults—when electricity escapes the circuit and flows through water or a person. When a ground fault occurs, the GFCI outlet quickly shuts off the electrical current, reducing the risk of serious injury. These outlets should be installed in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor spaces.
• AFCI Outlets: Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter outlets prevent electrical fires by detecting and interrupting arc faults—dangerous sparks caused by damaged or loose wiring. These arcs can produce intense heat and ignite surrounding materials. They should be installed in living areas such as bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways.

Wiring Upgrades

Your home may contain wiring that’s in bad shape or made from outdated materials. For example, aluminum wiring was common in the 1960s and ‘70s as a replacement for copper, but it has severe drawbacks because it’s a less stable metal. It expands and contracts more with temperature changes, leading to potential loosening at connections, which can create fire hazards. You may also have wiring that has lost insulation. Our electricians can find out how much rewiring your house needs to bring it up to current electrical standards.

Troubleshooting Common Electrical Issues

The electricians at Affordable Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. are always ready to assist you with emergency electrical repairs. However, you won’t need us for all troubles. Here are some basic troubleshooting steps (not repairs!) to try before you call us:

Flickering Lights

• Possible Cause: Loose bulbs, faulty light switches, or wiring issues.
• Solution: Tighten the bulb, replace the switch if it’s defective. Call us if the problem persists, as it could mean faulty wiring.

Circuit Breaker Tripping

• Possible Cause: Overloaded circuits, short circuits, or ground faults.
• Solution: Reduce the number of devices on the circuit, unplug appliances one by one to isolate the problem. Call us if the problem persists.

Dead Outlets

• Possible Cause: Tripped GFCI outlet, tripped breaker, or a loose connection.
• Solution: Check nearby GFCI outlets and reset them, then inspect the circuit breaker panel.

High Electric Bill

• Possible Cause: Phantom loads (devices drawing power in standby), old appliances, or inefficient wiring.
• Solution: Unplug unused devices, upgrade to energy-efficient appliances, and consider arranging for a professional home energy audit with our team.

Lights or Outlets Not Working After a Storm

• Possible Cause: Power surges or damaged circuits.
• Solution: Check breakers and reset them if needed.

Energy-Efficient Electrical Solutions

More and more homeowners are looking for ways to reduce their electricity bills—because those bills just seem to get bigger and bigger. It’s true that today we use more electricity than ever before, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make improvements to your home’s electrical system that can lower your electrical expenses.

One of the best options for better energy efficiency is to switch to LED lights. We offer full lighting services to help you switch over to these modern lighting solutions. Here are some of the benefits of using LED lights in your home:

• High Efficiency: LED lights use up to 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, significantly reducing your electricity bills.
• Long Lifespan: LEDs have an impressive lifespan, lasting 25 times longer than traditional bulbs. This reduces the frequency and cost of replacements.
• Environmentally Friendly: LED lights contain no hazardous materials like mercury, making them safer for the environment. They are also 100% recyclable.
• Better Light Quality: LEDs provide bright, consistent light and are available in various color temperatures, allowing you to customize your lighting for any space.
• Durability: LEDs are more durable and resistant to shocks, vibrations, and external impacts, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Reduced Heat Emission: LED lights emit very little heat compared to traditional bulbs, which can help maintain a cooler environment, especially in warm climates.
• Smart Features: Many LED lighting solutions are compatible with smart home systems, offering dimming, color-changing, and remote control capabilities.

We’re here to help make the transition seamless with our full lighting services. We can also help audit your home to find other places where we can implement energy-efficient electrical solutions, such as attic fans and ceiling fans. We’re ready to help you.
